Definitions
- the invention relates to a three-layer headbox of a machine for producing a fiber web, especially a paper web.
- a three layer headbox is known, for example, from DE 32 27 218 A1.
- a respective transverse distributor extends across the headbox, is fastened to the basic housing or body of the headbox and supplies the respective layer of the headbox with stock suspension over the machine width.
- the transverse distributors are usually relatively voluminous and their arrangement produces an overall size which is not needed by the headbox. This causes space problems when the headbox is arranged on the paper machine and produces unnecessary manufacture, materials and space costs.
- a headbox having a first transverse distributor that serves more than one, but fewer than all, of the layers, that preferably serves two layers that are not adjacent and that particularly serves the two outer layers of a three-layer headbox while another distributor serves the middle layer.
- a headbox for producing a three-layer fiber web especially a paper web
- the first transverse distributor supplies the middle suspension layer
- the second transverse distributor supplies the two outer suspension layers.
- the second transverse distributor is shaped to surround the first transverse distributor in a horseshoe shape or U-shape.
- the resulting nested configuration of the transverse distributors enables the connections on the flowbox side leading to the transverse distributors to be placed very close to one another, which can greatly reduce the overall size of the headbox.
- only a single suspension supply line is needed for supplying suspension for the two outer layers.
- only two pumps are needed instead of the three pumps that are needed with three separate transverse distributors.
- the free inner cross section of the transverse distributors in each case narrows from one side of the machine to the other, enabling constant suspension pressure over the machine width.
- the cross sections of the two transverse distributors narrow in the same direction, that is, the conicity of the transverse distributors runs in the same direction.
- This design enables the side supplies to the two transverse distributors to be at one side of the machine. If applicable, the discharges of excess stock suspension from the two transverse distributors may also be implemented at one side of the machine.
- the supplies to the distributors may be from opposite sides of the machine. Then the distributors would narrow from opposite directions, to keep uniform pressure over the machine width and to keep substantially uniform cross section of the combined distributors across the width.
- the headbox described above in addition to the stock being supplied via the transverse distributors to the guide device in the headbox, it is also advantageous to provide a large number of additional, individually adjustable supply lines for other suspension, wire water collected from a dewatering step, paper stock additives, etc.
- the sectional overall volume flow at various sections across the width of the headbox and/or the suspension composition in one or more suspension layers can be influenced, and the mass transverse profile or the fiber orientation transverse profile of the resulting paper web produced can be corrected.
- the strength of the joint between the inner transverse flow distributor and the step diffuser block need only correspond to the dead weight of the inner distributor (without a water filling), plus the reaction of the flow in the step diffusers of the inner layer.
- the pressure and the filling in the inner distributor is irrelevant, since the latter is compensated by the pressure and the buoyancy of the outer distributor.
- FIG. 1 shows a section from the top or the bottom at B--B from FIG. 2 through a three-layer headbox according to the invention in the region of the transverse distributors.
- FIG. 2 shows a side-cross sectional section A--A from FIGS. 1 and 3 through a three-layer headbox according to the invention in the area of the transverse distributors.
- FIG. 3 shows a section also at B--B from FIG. 2 through a three-layer headbox according to the invention in the area of the transverse distributors, in a countercurrent design.
- FIG. 1 shows a section through a schematically illustrated three-layer flowbox according to the invention in the area of the transverse distributors.
- the two transverse distributors 1 and 2 are illustrated.
- the first transverse distributor 1 runs through the wrapped around second transverse distributor 2, and the second distributor 2 wraps around the first distributor 1 in a generally horseshoe shape or a U, as seen in FIG. 2.
- the first transverse distributor 1 lying on the inside of the second distributor 2, is connected to a stock or pulp suspension supply 3 and supplies the stock suspension flow 6 to the suspension guide device 4 of the middle layer.
- the guide device 4 has a row of channels in an array across the width of the headbox and each directs flow along the headbox for a uniform pressure distribution across the inlet openings 5 to all of those channels and distributed across the machine width of the guide device 4.
- the first transverse distributor 1 narrows in a generally parabolic shape along the flow direction through the distributor across the width of the headbox.
- a discharge 8 is fitted at the end of the first transverse distributor 1 which discharges the excess stock suspension 9 from the middle layer.
- the second transverse distributor 2 wraps around the first transverse distributor 1 in an approximately "horseshoe shape" or U-shape.
- the legs of the U extend toward and open toward inlet side of the headbox.
- the second distributor is fed from the second suspension or stock supply 10, and the second distributor leads the stock suspension flow 7 to the guide devices in the headbox for the outer layers.
- a discharge 11 is also provided for the excess stock suspension 12 from the second distributor.
- the outer wall of the first transverse distributor 1 forms the inner wall of the second transverse distributor 2 which lies on the outside.
- the flow is directed in the two transverse distributors 1, 2 in the same direction.
- the stock supplies to both distributors are both arranged on the same lateral side of the headbox and the discharges from both the distributors are on the same opposite lateral side of the headbox.
- a simple pipe run on the paper machine is made possible.
- FIG. 2 shows a section A--A from FIG. 1, through a three-layer headbox of the invention in the area of the transverse distributor.
- the first transverse distributor 1 which lies on the inside, feeds the middle guide device using a large number of pipes 4.2.
- the first transverse distributor exclusively feeds turbulence generating units of the middle layer
- the second transverse distributor feeds those of the outer layers.
- FIG. 3 is a section B--B from FIG. 2 through a three-layer flowbox according to the invention in the area of the transverse distributor but in a countercurrent design which differs from the design of FIG. 1.
- the transverse distributors are configured such that the flow directions in the two distributors run counter to each other, and hence their conicity, and particularly their generally parabolic shapes, are also oppositely directed.
- the smallest cross section of each transverse distributor is paired with the largest cross section of the other transverse distributor.
- This design enables optimal use of the space in the area of the distributor.
- this construction necessitates that the stock suspension supply and discharge ends be arranged at alternate lateral sides of the machine. This design may be advantageous depending on the available space for the pipelines.
